Huf Post - The New Welfare Queens - Big Oil!
RECORD PROFITS - yet they need subsidies - Argh!

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/theblog/archive/cenk-uygur/the-new-welfare-queens_4856.html
<snip>
"U.S. oil companies are estimated to make a combined $230 billion this year. Exxon Mobil, by itself, made $25.3 billion in profits last year. And these are just the oil companies, not even the entire energy sector. After all that, Congress has just agreed upon on an energy bill that will give the energy industry an additional $14.5 billion in tax credits and subsidies. It makes me want to scream out like Nancy Kerrigan after Tonya Harding's thugs slugged her in the knee, “Why?! Why?!”

2. More "cash and carry" government from BushCo...
They might as well sell the naming rights to the White House. The Exxon White House, or The White House by Wal-Mart.
